Lucky you! I never had any hot towel before the meal service, even in Business Premier.

I found that article from 2003, when Philippe Starck unveiled his refurbishment project for the Eurostar fleet. What a pity that it never materialized. Premium First seats were to be replaced "with individual egg-shaped swivel seats" with a lot of privacy. If I remember well, traditional First Class seats had to include a TV screen in each seat for in "flight" entertainment as well. All those attractive ideas were shelved as they were finally considered as too expensive.
